According to the license text, this would constitute a Collective Work
(whether they simply took your text and bound it or distributed it
with other texts). None of the CC licenses restrict this outright.
They get around this by imposing other restrictions, such as
NonCommercial, so that printing it could not yield a commercial return
and therefore would be unfavorable, or ShareAlike, so the publisher or
collector must release their work under a Creative Commons license
identical to yours.
As far as I know, no CC license can stop someone from distributing
something for free, which is the purpose of many of these licenses.
